Not really. I had the color on one of my forearms done in one sitting, took about 9.5 hours. I highly recommend against a session of that length, I learned the hard way. I could hardly use my left arm for a week. After that hell, I won't do over 4 hours at once.

I'm with mstad on this one. I did a 8 hour ish session and it was by far the most painful thing I've ever experienced.

I've done some extreme things too. While I was in the military, you have to do a Battle Fitness Test. 2 hours to do 13km's with 50lb rucksack on your back carrying your C7 and.. don't even remember... guess you would have your webbing with loaded magazines as well.

Anyways they decided to do the BFT after an exercise. So I was only on like 3 hours of sleep and It was way below zero with wind almost pushing you over. First 100meters into it, my camel back(Water backpack) tube was frozen, and while trying to fix it, the fucking thing broke and ice cold water poured down my back and into my boots. Timed event so I couldn't stop to fix that. By the end of it my feet were just mush and covered in blood blisters.

What I'm getting at is I'd gladly substitute the pain of a long tattoo session for the pain experienced doing a BFT.

This post isn't to prove I'm hard as fuck or anything, it's just fucking annoying when some random Joe calls you a pussy because you think getting a tattoo hurts. Everybody is different, some nerves are heightened more so then in others.

That being said my next tattoo session will still be the same length, but that doesn't mean I'm not going to be crying like a little girl on the inside when about the 5hour mark hits. I'll go till the tattoo artist has to stop, doesn't mean it's "easy" though.
